    Mis acompañantes llegaron primero y la chica que atiende les dijo que mi reserva era para 3 personas, pero en realidad era para 6. Lo bueno es que los acomodaron en una mesa y ya cuando yo llegué ya estaba todo bien. El señor que nos atendió no estaba muy atento a nosotros y nos llevó muy poco pan para la cantidad de personas que éramos.

    Indique que celebraba mi aniversario, mi expectativa era que por lo menos la anfitriona nos diera una calurosa bienvenida y unas palabras de felicitación, pero no hubo ninguna felicitación y nos mandaron a la mesa más complicada y ruidosa del restaurante, la salida de la cocina donde presencie la regañada del supervisor con un mesero donde al pobre mesero se le caía el chorizo y el supervisor se lo colocaba de nuevo en el plato con la mano…🫣mi carne muy dura, la comida la salvó el postre de panqueque de manzana que nunca falla!
